In this latest video (which is under 7 minutes long) on my YouTube Channel I go through a Super Fast technique for faking the look of detail, texture and sharpness in eyes.
Of course nothing beats getting it all ‘in camera’ but for whatever reason that just didn’t happen and the eyes are lacking punch, this works an absolute treat…
If only it was this easy in real life to get rid of sunburn!
Alas no…but here’s a super fast and easy technique for dealing with sunburnt skin in your pictures by making use of just one Hue & Saturation Adjustment Layer.
Hope you like it,

Ok so yesterday I shared a new video on my YouTube Channel going through a recent-ish photo shoot I had with a female surfer.
In the video I go through a Behind the Scenes showing what went into making the picture whilst on location but then show how just one slider in Photoshop made the final picture, I believe, a winner.
As is always the case, it’s the small things that make the BIG difference in Photography and Retouching, and that’s exactly where the Neural Filters in Photoshop comes in when used sparingly.
You’ll see what I mean in the video but also, and I think importantly, why the filter had to be used in the first place.
Cheers,

A while back now I did a LIVE Stream on my YouTube Channel showing how to use the incredible Frequency Separation Technique; without doubt the most useful technique to learn and use in Photoshop.
Following the LIVE Stream I then created an Action to help automate the process and made this available for free as a download to folks who joined my email community / newsletter.
However, if I’m honest, the Action was a little bit clunky in that it worked great when there was a layer in Photoshop called Background OR named a certain way. My Bad!
So, I’ve fixed it, and
Using a Wide Angle lens (like I did when photographing Brentor Church) can cause distortion in the outer areas (top, bottom and sides) of your images.
Now this is good to keep in some areas of our images such as in the foreground to emphasise that area HOWEVER there may be some areas we don't want it.
So, here's how to quickly Quickly Fix Wide Angle Lens Distortion using PhotoshopPhotoshop PLUS why I didn't do it in Lightroom or Camera RAW.
Enjoy,

I guess we have to accept now (certainly here in the UK) that the summer months are well and truly gone, but without feeling too down in the dumps, there’s the magic of Autumn to look forward to bringing with it a change in the trees to beautiful burnt oranges, yellows and reds.
In the mean time though, if you’re feeling a little impatient, here’s a REALLY quick technique in Photoshop for creating an Autumn scene plus adding in a dreamy glow…

After what seems like an age since I created a new course, finally, I can tell you that my new, long awaited Photoshop Lighting Effects Course is Available NOW, PLUS I’m making it available at a reduced price until mining on Friday 20th August 2021.
I’m genuinely over the moon with this one, and cannot wait to hear what you think of it especially as it’s on the new platform where you can stream or download it and carry on from where you left off. I’ve also added in knowledge checks to test learning plus there’s
Last Friday (13th August) at 8pm I hosted a LIVE Broadcast over on my YouTube Channel going through a couple of Photoshop Lighting Effects Tutorial PLUS a workaround for the Colour Grading technique I shared for anyone who doesn’t use Adobe Premiere Pro.
The broadcast ran for about 35 / 40 minutes or so and felt great to be back online, seeing and interacting with everyone in the chat.
The set up I use for the LIVE Broadcasts is so good in that amongst many other things, I’m able to bring comments up onto the screen which makes it so much more interactive.
Anyway, if you weren’t able to catch it LIVE, here’s a REPLAY where I’ve also
If there’s one thing that has a BIG impact on your recognisable style, it’s how you colour grade your images.
There are so many ways to do this and a lot of the time it boils down to personal preference, however, imagine if there was a really easy way to take the colour from your favourite movie or tv programme and add that into your pictures!
Well, here’s a hack that I worked out to do exactly that with just one click!
The technique first of all makes use of Adobe's
